Coral Gables

The City Beautiful — a meticulously planned 1920s Mediterranean enclave of tree-lined boulevards, coral-rock landmarks, and old-world elegance.

The Overview

Old-world elegance, green and low-rise

Coral Gables is a 1920s Mediterranean-Revival city with strict design codes, banyan-lined boulevards, and the University of Miami at its heart. It feels leafy and refined — a world apart from Brickell's towers — and home blends old-money families with international buyers.

In 2025 the median sale price reached roughly $1.3M, with estates commonly $3.5–6M. The exclusive Gables Estates was named the most expensive neighborhood in the U.S., with typical values around $21M.

Refined, family-first, and rooted

Tree-lined, low-density elegance with top public and private schools and a walkable historic downtown makes Coral Gables a favorite of families from Europe, established New York and California buyers trading up to a house, and Israeli relocators drawn by the University of Miami and strong Jewish institutions.
